Mr Stefaniak - the answer to the Member's question is as follows:
(1) I have not met with a group representing commercial speedway interests seeking to locate at block 306 Majura (Fairbairn Park). On 9 May 1996 I met with members of the ACT Motorsport Council and of the Combined Dirt Track Association, and discussed among other issues, the possibility of upgrading the existing speedway track at Fairbairn Park, or of developing a new track adjacent to the existing one. No committments were made.
The persons present at the meeting were representing Club interests, not commercial interests.
(a) no
(b) yes.
